General information

As we communicated, OVH has been informed of the Spectre (CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715) and Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754) security vulnerabilities, making a large part of computer equipment in operation vulnerable to potential attacks, particularly those equipped with Intel CPUs. Note than some AMD cpu may be affected too.

Securing certain other services such as Dedicated servers, Public Cloud instances, VPS or Private Cloud will require additional action on your part, consisting of applying the recommended update and patches of the operating system vendor of your servers.

To help you, we offer a non-exhaustive table listing the updates available for the main versions of the operating systems to find a patch to protect them against Meltdown and Spectre vulnerability. If you use another operating system, we recommend that you consult the documentation provided by thevendor to know if a patch is available to fix Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities.

You will also find a list of all affected Intel CPU. If you are using one of them, your system is potentially vulnerable, and you will need to install a patch against Meltdown and Spectre and/or update your kernel.

As a reminder, OVH provides self-managed machines which are the customer’s responsibility. Since we have no access to these machines we are not the administrators. It is your responsibility to manage software and install this patch against Meltdown or Spectre when available. Consequently, you will be responsible for potentialinstabilities.
